9. Education Needs 2040 Key Findings & Recommendations The Report was developed through: A subcommittee of the Task Force A Committee of school district officials from San Jose Unified, East Side Union, Orchard and Santa Clara Unified and City/Agency staff. All of the school districts supported the findings of the school report. Key questions: How many students would be generated and how many schools would be needed? –Where would the new schools be located? –What are the estimated costs for school construction?

10. Education Needs 2040 Key Findings & Recommendations Findings: A low estimate of 1,000 students at $64 million for one school with development fees up to $138 million. A high estimate of 3,500 students for Santa Clara Unified with a similar number of students divided among the other three districts. Cost: $258-$296 million. New schools should be multi-story “urban” campuses reflecting the urban density of the surrounding area. All four districts should engage in discussions regarding potentially adjusting district boundaries.

11. Education Needs 2040 Key Findings & Recommendations New Issue: A $30,000 (NPV) per residential unit development fee proposed by SCUSD Could force residential development outside of SCUSD boundaries to the southern part of North San Jose Could discourage lenders from financing residential projects already on file in SCUSD boundaries Discouraging housing can ultimately curtail new industrial development and job growth in North San Jose
